Abendlied - SOPRANO 1 | JG Rheinberger

Abendlied (Evening song), Op. 69/3, is a sacred motet by Josef Rheinberger for a six-part mixed choir (SSATTB). It has been regarded as his best-known sacred composition. He wrote the first version in 1855 at the age of 15.

The text is a verse from the biblical narration of the Road to Emmaus appearance according to Luke 24:29 in Martin Luther's German version of the bible:

Bleib bei uns,
denn es will Abend werden,
und der Tag hat sich geneiget.

(English Translation)
"Bide with us, for evening shadows darken, and the day will soon be over."
